UNITE COMMUNITY NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION TO STOP UNIVERSAL CREDIT THURSDAY 24TH MAY 2018 CULMINATING IN RALLY AT OLD PALACE YARD OPPOSITE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT AT 1PM WITH JEREMY CORBYN ATTENDING.

Kilburn Unemployed Workers Group in conjunction with Brent Unite Community Branch will be protesting same day 11am-noon outside Harlesden Job Centre -anyone else welcome. We will be handing out Unite Community leaflets, and also KUWG leaflets which follow Disabled People Against Cuts call to SCRAP Universal Credit for good. See below:


THE DISGUSTING NATURE OF
THERESA MAY’S UNIVERSAL CREDIT
Below Q&A From Prime Ministers Questions 9/5/18
In the past year, the Trussell Trust has given out over 3,000 food parcels to my constituents in south Manchester, half of them to families with children. The trust says that the Government’s flawed roll-out of universal credit has fuelled the 13% rise in food bank use over the past year. How does the Prime Minister explain the rise? 
“Obviously, the Hon. Gentleman knows that we do not want to see anybody having to use food banks. As we have rolled out universal credit, we have listened to the concerns raised and we have changed the arrangements as a result”.
WHAT THE TORIES UNDER DAVID GAUKE AT THE TIME DID, WAS TO ‘ALLOW’ CLAIMANTS TO GET A LOAN TO PAY OFF WITHIN 12 MONTHS, AFTER HAVING PUT THEM INTO DEBT IN THE FIRST PLACE BY DELAYING PAYMENTS BY 5 WEEKS. GOVERNMENT-INSPIRED DEBT! MAY THINKS THIS SORTED OUT THE PROBLEM!?! NATIONALISED CAPITALISM? STINKY POLITICS!
Waiting times for personal independence payment tribunals in Wales have quadrupled over the past four years. My constituent, Alan McKittrick, is suffering from prostate cancer, angina, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, arthritis, hernias, mental ill health, dizziness, blackouts and ulcers, yet his initial PIP claim was refused. He then waited 56 weeks for an appeal, which he won. Will the Prime Minister apologise to Alan, and when will she end this hostile environment towards sick and disabled people?
“Obviously, Members across this House raise issues about the PIP process, and the Department for Work and Pensions is consistently looking at the whole PIP process. One of the issues that the hon. Gentleman raised in his question was the health of the individual concerned. As he sits for a Welsh constituency, I would have thought that, if he wants to talk about health, he should talk to the Labour Government in Wales”.
INSTEAD OF RECOGNISING AN EXTREMELY ILL MAN HAD TO ENDURE LACK OF HIS RIGHTFUL MONIES FOR 56 WEEKS, MAY THINKS SHE CAN POINT SCORE ABOUT WELSH ASSEMBLEY WHO DEAL WITH THE NHS, BUT PIP IS A DWP ISSUE NOT NHS!! HEARTLESS & BRAINLESS!
The Kilburn Unemployed Workers Group support Unite Community’s Day of Action to Stop Universal Credit  & we back Disabled People Against Cuts who say SCRAP Universal Credit. It’s designed to ‘keep claimants on the books” so they can be hounded off the books. A Virtual Permanent Abuse System!
Workers & Claimants know the score. Unite & Fight the REAL Scroungers. Cabinet &  DWP Top Brass!
